there isn't any timing anyway... and hand timing doesn't count (according to me.. unless i set a pb, then it counts)

Im aware of that but when your trying to push a car around there well into the 1:07 bracket slower cars can be pretty dangerous when they dont move off the racing line.

My question was more of a general question to see what sort of vehicles and experiance levels we have attending. Im asuming we will be divided into sessions by claimed lap tips and experiance though.

If everything still works I should be doing sub 10s.

Will be really good to get on a circuit with you Andrew. been a very long time!

2 questions for people..

From what I can see, I need a helmet and EITHER a L2S License or a Wakefield Yearly license.. For both of us..

Is it too late to get an L2S one? or should I just get a 2 x Wakefield, 1 for me and my brother...

Also - I need a helmet, i'm going to borrow one off my brother, what standards does it need to meet, also does anyone have a spare one for my brother to borrow on the day???

I'll post this up next week as well..

Cheers

heyyo.. definately not too late to get an ls2 licence!!! Send your forum off... and if you don't have your passbook by say the 5th.. call up the CAMS state office and have them fax you a temporary licence!

they've been very helpful in the past when i haven't had my licence in time, and i know they've bent over backwards for some of the others! You'll be right.

ps.. I'm in the same boat..my licence expired last month and I haven't been arsed to apply for a new one.

cool. I wasn't refering to your question at all.

but yes, you will be grouped into people the same speed as you. If there is a slower car on the circuit, it's YOUR responsibility to maneuver around them... of course the slower cars should (SHOULD) wave you past.. but really, it's up to you to get around them.

I totally know that feeling

As Liz mentioned, the groups will be organised by expected lap times.

Also, cars are not required to move off the racing line. There is overtaking allowed on the two straights or the slower car can wave you past. If I see anyone diving in under brakes on a corner there will be an instant end to their day.

All this will be covered in the drivers briefing on the day anyway.

Err.. even if you are a first timer Adam?

Answer will be yes. When you see what he is saying you will understand why. This will be my frist day too and if i tryed to overtake you under brakes and didnt stop may F*(K up both our cars and theres no happy endings from there.

This is likely a typical newbie question but I have to ask. Are there refuelling facilities at the track? Never having been to a track day before I have no idea. I'm assuming yes for now because we'll all need some fuel to get home!

Also, if the answer is yes, what fuels do they have?

Thanks!

There is a Shell in town (10 min drive) that has V-Power. Didn't have vpowerdelux last time I checked.

Here is a mapp showing the nearest vpowerdelux:

And here is one showing the vpower:

The racetrack is down Braidwood road.

and for those ultimate lovers, there is a bp just before the first goulburn exit... its the one i use.. i fill up there on my way in, and again on my way out! one tank usually lasts me out there!

Cool, thanks guys. Now off to do some more helmet shopping!

Last year I organised a club discount at Sydney City Motorcycles at Lane cove. If Andrew Cura still works there have a chat to him about a helmet, and he will do a discount for ya. See, arent we good to our members here at SAUNSW? :P

Info: Click Here

Note this offer is to SAU NSW members only, and you'll be asked to present your card to qualify for the discount.

Cheers.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
